The Defiant orbits AR-558.
AR-558 was a planet in the Chin'toka system of the Alpha Quadrant.
During the Dominion War, the planet was the location of a Dominion communications array. Following the invasion of Cardassia (See: First Battle of Chin'toka), the planet was held by Starfleet troops for five months without replacements, as Starfleet hoped to use the captured array to tap into Dominion communications.
Although there were initially one hundred fifty personnel posted there, by the time the USS Defiant made a supply run to the planet in mid-2375 that number had been reduced to only forty three surviving troops by repeated Jem'Hadar attacks and the prevelance of subspace anti-personnel mines, nicknamed Houdinis. The casualties included Captain Loomis, Commander Parker, Crewman Kellin, Nadia Larkin, McGreevey and Vargas.
Relief troops and engineers would later be sent aboard the USS Veracruz to replace the surviving troops. (DS9: "The Siege of AR-558")
